Your Weekend Chat Show Guide

Find out who you'll see this weekend!

It's that time of the year again! All the usual suspects return to the screen for your entertainment over the weekend including a new boy in town, Ray D'arcy who will debut his brand new talk show The Ray D'arcy Saturday Night Show tomorrow night.

Here's who will appear on the talk show couches this week!

Graham Norton - BBC1 - Friday 10:35pm

Everyone's favourite talk show host makes a comeback tonight and his first line up of the season does not disappoint!

Graham Norton regular Matt Damon will be on the show along with actress Jessica Chastain to talk about their upcoming sci-fi movie, The Martian.

The legend that is Bill Murray will also be making an appearance on the show. The comedian, musician and actor was previously on the show with Matt Damon and caused a bit of trouble.

Academy Award winning French actress Marion Coitillard will also be talking to Graham tonight. She will be chatting about her role as Lady Macbeth in the film version of Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth in which Michael Fassbender also stars.

Music comes from The Weeknd.

The Late Late Show - RTE1 - Friday 9:35pm

It's not a Friday night without The Late Late Show! Ryan is already back in full swing since the summer and tonight he will have Minister For Heath Leo Varadkar joining him on the couch to chat about his personal life as well as the inevitable politics talk.

Also joining Ryan is Kilkenny hurling legend Henry Shefflin who will probably be talking about Kilkenny hurling and the millions of medals in his possession. 

Jules Coll from RTE's Damo & Ivor will also be on the show to talk about her amazing nine stone weight loss.

Keith Barry will also be making his annual appearance on The Late Late Show tonight. You're sure to see some hynotising stuff there!

Alan Carr Chatty Man - Channel 4 - Friday 10pm

Alan Carr Chatty Man is always great for a good laugh. On this week's show Alan is joined by other stars of The Martian, Kristen Wiig, Kate Mara and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly will also be on the couch to talk about the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing which kicks off tomorrow night on BBC1. Hopefully there'll be plenty of chat about our very own Daniel O'Donnell!

Music and talk will also come from pop princess Selena Gomez who will be performing her new single "Good For You".

The Ray D'arcy Show - RTE1 - Saturday 9:45pm

Ray D'arcy's talk show debut takes place tomorrow night on RTE1. Ray has taken over the reigns from Cork native Brendan O'Connor on the Saturday Night Show slot.

 

Joining Ray for his first show will be comedian Tommy Tiernan who certainly doesn't hold back. We would think he's a dodgy first guest to have on your brand new chat show but at least he'll give us a good few laughs.

Also on the couch will be comedian Fred Cooke who is best known for his appearance on The Fear and that lad off the Spar ads.

Crystal Swing's Mary Burke is also rumoured to appear on the new show. We hope she'll be performing her new solo single "Fool For Loving You".
